Earlier this week, I invited y’all to send me pictures of yourselves wearing red tights, leggings or pants. I was inspired by the red legs on display at the Independent Fashion Bloggers Evolving Influence conference on February 10. Here are the gorgeous fashion bloggers I’ve caught red-legged. Click their photos to visit their blogs. I…

Two Heads Below André Leon Talley in The Daily
I didn’t get a chance to post about it during Fashion Week, but I was very excited to be mentioned in the February 10, 2011, issue of The Daily, the must-read magazine handed out at the fashion shows. A Daily reporter asked me for my opinion of WikiLeaks back in January at the Fashion Group…
Pondering the Patrick Kelly Leopard Dress, Again
Y’all know that I love to wear my vintage Patrick Kelly leopard gown for a big event on an annual basis. I got the dress on eBay in April 2008 and opened the package just as I was getting dressed for a Tribeca Film Festival party. Before I put on the Ossie Clark dress I…
What Wendy Wore: New York Fashion Week
I barely thought about fashion during New York Fashion Week because I was distracted by my work on a non-fashion event. But I still got out to support two of my friends. Gorgeous blogger Jennine — the founder of Independent Fashion Bloggers — held her Evolving Influence Fashion Bloggers Conference at MAC & Milk Studios…
On the Town: Huffington and Didion at Columbia Spectator Dinner
I work on a lot of non-jewelry and non-blog projects, but I don’t always write about them here. One of those — which I alluded to in this December post but didn’t name — is my chairmanship of the board of alumni trustees of the Columbia Daily Spectator, my alma mater‘s student newspaper. I was…

Ever since knickers showed up on my Never is the Next New Thing™ radar, I’ve been keeping an eye out for more examples. I already found a very wearable pair by J Brand. More recently, I noticed these Dolce & Gabbana pants from The Outnet. At first, I found the military details to be over…
“Wear What You Want™” Icon: Helena Bonham Carter
I laughed out loud — in delight! — when I saw actress Helena Bonham Carter’s wild hair, exposed tulle and, especially, her mismatched shoes at the Golden Globes in January. Embed from Getty Images Would I wear this outfit? No. Do I love a woman whose outfits scream, “Fuck you, fashion police!”? Hell, yeah! I…
The WendyB Pose-Off Results and More Posers
According to your votes, fashion-loving stylist Lenya Jones won last month’s “pose like WendyB” contest. Congrats, Lenya! No prizes were promised beyond bragging rights — and those are priceless, of course — but I feel like that’s a little bit of a letdown. So I hereby offer Lenya free shipping on her next jewelry purchase….
